The Blackburn Lab seeks to understand the full roles of Telomeres and Telomerase in cell processes.
The Research program of the Blackburn laboratory focuses on Telomeres, the structures stabilizing the ends of the eukaryotic chromosomes, and the enzyme Telomerase. The mechanisms of Telomere and Telomerase functions, and how perturbations in these functions signal to cells are under study. It investigates these in organisms from yeast to humans, and in cancers.
The laboratory is located at the University of California San Francisco.
